NOTE:
TP sensor (4), or other components containing rubber
must not be placed in a solvent or cleaner bath. A
chemical reaction will cause these parts to swell,
harden or get distorted.
Don’t put drills or wires into passages for cleaning. It
causes damages in passages.

sage with IAC valve installed to throttle body. This will
cause IAC valve to malfunction.
TP sensor, idle air control valve or other components
containing rubber must not be places in a solvent or
cleaner bath.
A chemical reaction will cause these parts to swell,
harden or get distorted.

6E2-32 ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (SEQUENTIAL MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION FOR H27 ENGINE)
Mass air flow sensor (MAF sensor)
INSPECTION
1) Connect voltmeter (1) to “B+” terminal of MAF sensor (2)
coupler disconnected and ground (3).
2) Turn ignition switch ON and check that voltage is battery volt-
age.If not, check if wire harness is open or connection is
poor.
3) Turn ignition switch OFF and remove ECM/PCM cover (1)
from bracket.
4) Connect MAF sensor coupler to MAF sensor.
5) Turn ignition switch ON and check voltage at MAF sensor
output terminal of ECM/PCM connector (1).
MAF sensor output voltage
Voltage: 1.0 - 1.6 V
6) Start engine and check that voltage is lower than 5 V and it
rises as engine speed increases.
(Reference data: 1.7 – 2.0 V at specified idle speed)
If check result is not as specified above, cause may lie in
wire harness, coupler connection, MAF sensor or ECM/
PCM. NOTE:
Use voltmeter with high-impedance (10 kΩ
ΩΩ Ω/V minimum)
or digital type voltmeter.
